One of the best places we have ever stayed!
Property was exactly how it was described. It was spotless and had everything we needed & more for a perfect stay. Absolutely loved walking in and seeing the home tastefully decorated for fall. It felt like home! Now that we have stayed here we will never stay anywhere else when visiting the starved rock area. Thank you Anetka for sharing this wonderful home with us!

Clean, comfortable, and well equipped
We stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding, and it was perfect. The beds were comfortable, and were piled high with soft blankets and fluffy pillows. My kids enjoyed playing all the various games at the house including the putting game, mini shuffleboard, big jenga, and so many more. Our time here flew by! The house was also immaculately clean. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Beautiful and cozy
This was the perfect location for hiking, dining, wine tasting and added bonus it was October Fest. Was very quiet being tucked back in a corner which made it very relaxing. Such a beautiful place. Every detail was thought of from decor, games, kitchen and even a little chocolate as a welcome gift. Loved the vanity in the master. Nice added touch.😍Would definitely stay again!!

Clean and Cozy
This simply adorable villa met all our needs. Location: We were in town for a wedding at the Starved Rock State Park which was literally less than a five minute drive away. We went back and forth multiple times throughout our stay. The villa exudes comfort with its many luxurious and fine touches. Anita was prompt with her communications and her directions on how to weave our way back in to the villa were spot on. We highly recommend this villa.

Starved Rock Getaway
Perfect location for a weekend getaway at Starved Rock State Park. Property was just as described and shown in photos. Neat and clean with all of the amenities we needed. Perfect amount of space for an adult weekend of hiking, kayaking, cards, and live music on the property on the weekend that was just a short walk away. State park and restaurants within a very short drive. Would definitely return and recommend.
